We’re temps part of the Union?
No, they didn’t pay union dues. Its definitely why the Union wanted to get rid of them but it was a good job for college kids on summer break. It was when they cut the starting pay for full time carriers too. I would think it was a deal between union and management that ended up being largely stupid. They could eliminate 90% of the management at Post Office with no real problem (its mostly made up of people too lazy to carry mail and friends of other bosses who give them promotions)
